Apologies if this comes out of nowhere (though I have posted some on another of your threads for this fic on a different forum, so, whatever). I really like what you've done with this story. It's not exactly something I can verbalize properly, but... it is quite good, and I very much enjoy it for all the work it seems you've put in. Sorry for not being able to offer much else in the way of critique, tough I will say...

Spoilering to be on the safe side SPOILER: Show

Yeah, the "Rei is Kaworu's sister" did feel like a teeny little bit of an asspull-- but it was a well-executed asspull with a valid reason behind it, so I'll forgive you on it.

Kinda, but I won't have them overshadow the Angels as far as plot goes.

Mark my words, though: when they do eventually appear, bad things will happen. Not bad by HL standards, bad by Eva standards. I may not write like Anno does, but I do know my roots and the audience will get a grim reminder that despite the more lighthearted beginning, this is still an Evangelion story.

All I'm saying is this: humanity having refused to be enslaved and rendered extinct within a generation? Rolling over and just accepting it would've been the less painful outcome. As racist as some of the Angels are, they generally don't care unless you get in the way. The Combine, on the other hand, don't fuck around when it comes to competition and would merrily steamroll the Angels with minimal effort if the two sides were aware of each other's existence. I'm not bringing the Combine in as regular foes like Angels because the faction as a whole is just way too damn overpowered even by sci-fi standards.
